I have one more name (for now!) that I would like HONEST opinions on. I really like Ivy for a little girl. Not sure about a middle name, maybe Ivy Annabel? I know that there is teasing potential with "poison ivy". Should that keep us from possibly using it? We still really like Evelyn and Ireland but we were wondering if anyone thought this was a better choice. I'm going to do a poll also to see!! Thanks!

I like Ivy, it sounds spunky to me. Ivy Annabel isnt' my fave combo though, I think I would prefer something not beginning with a vowel. I like Ivy Celeste personally.

I agree with the pp that Ivy is a cute, spunky name that will also grow well into adulthood. Yeah, she'll probably get teased with "poison Ivy", but that wouldn't stop me from using it. I have to say that I like Evelyn a bit better, then Ivy, with Ireland being my least favorite on your short list.

As far as a mn, Ivy Annabel isn't bad, but Annabel seems a bit frilly with Ivy, IMO. What about Ivy Simone? Or Ivy Corinne?

Good luck making a decision!
